The season will end for the second year in a row with snowboarders and skiers rockin' rails as The B.O.B.'s surrounding parking lots are transformed into a winter sports fanatic's dream. A 30 foot high ramp will be constructed and snow piles prodded into perfect position for this three day family-friendly event. Locals and visitors clad in their winter gear can enjoy music, food, riders, and raffle prizes with the surrounding downtown skyline as the backdrop.
The Rail Jam is slated to begin with preliminary runs on the 26th of February, and continue through the weekend with prizes being awarded in different categories for riders of all many skill levels. Sponsors will provide lots of swag and free giveaways, the grill will be fired up, and music will be crankin'. Come and enjoy what's left of winter!

Our 2nd Annual Downtown Rail Jam is open to riders of all ages at many skill levels. There is no online pre-registration this year for the event. Cost to register for the Rail Jam is $40 per participant. Pre-registration will take place on Friday or 2 hours before your competition. The purpose of pre-registration is for us to save you a spot in the competition. Riders who pre-register will have priority over those who do not.
This event is entirely free for spectators and is open to all ages. The day will consist of djs, bands, and lots of rail grinding. Beer, Wine, and Spirits will be available to those guests over the age of 21. Check out our Layout Link for a complete diagram of this event.
Helmets must be worn by all riders, no exceptions.
Prizes will be awarded to riders after their competition is complete and scores have been totaled. For information on prizes, please check back often to the Prize Category Link at the top of this page. We will be adding new prizes throughout the month of February.
